Want to Remove Empty Applications Folder from Gnome Menu

[Clint Harshaw <clint@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've upgraded my glabels application (label making software that works 
really well, btw) on my FC2 machine. There seem to be some empty menu 
items in my Gnome menu as a result, and I'd like to remove them. Here is 
where they are located:

Redhat -> Applications -> (small grey box appears)
Redhat -> System Settings -> Applications -> (small grey box appears)
Redhat -> Preferences -> Applications -> (small grey box appears)

Can someone help me with how to properly go about removing these menu 
items? I know it's minor, in the big scheme of things, but it's an 
annoyance to see empty menu items on an otherwise neat desktop. ;-)

I've tried looking in /usr/share/applications, and see my other menu 
items, such as:

bme.desktop                     gnome-gnotski.desktop 
mozilla.desktop                redhat-qmkbootdisk.desktop
DataManager.desktop                 gnome-gnucash.desktop 
mozilla-mail.desktop           redhat-rhn-up2date-config.desktop

etc.

but don't see anything with "Applications" on it in this directory.

Thanks,
Clint
